Top Tips for Visiting the Night Owl Sale
To make the most of your evening browsing at Carmarthen Showground, arriving prepared ensures a smooth and fruitful outing:
- Bring a torch: While lighting is available, carrying a small torch or using your phone light helps you spot hidden maker marks and condition details on shaded tables.
- Carry cash and small change: Many traders prefer physical currency, and having exact change speeds up transactions.
- Wrap up warmly: Late October evenings in Carmarthenshire can be brisk, so layer up with a warm coat, sturdy footwear, and a cosy scarf.
